Grammy's - Best Dressed

Oh, the Grammys!!! So much crazy fashion I was sure I didn't like anything (certainly did not like Lady Gaga in that stupid egg) but looking back there were actually a few standouts! My favorites from the night are below.

What did you think?

1) Jennifer Hudson in Versace

- J. Hud looked gorg (and oh so svelte!) in this navy Versace gown with silver embellishments.

- Her Christian Louboutin Buckled Heels and Neil Lane bangles keep the look fresh!

- Showcasing one of the biggest trends of the night - the asymmetrical hemline

2) Lea Michele in Pucci

-

- Lea Michele showcased one of her best looks of all of awards season in a black Pucci dress with lace detail and platform patent Loubotin heels

- Her multi-colored jeweled Lorraine Schwartz bangle )pink,green, black oh my!) was fun and added a dash of color to the whole look. My favorite jewelry piece of the night...tied with Gwenyth Paltrow's hot pink feathered earrings of course!

3) Florence Welch in Givency Haute Couture

- Florence (without the machine) showed us what fun and funky Grammy style is all about in this sheer Givency gown that has a very vintage vibe. Very bohemian and just very Florence.

- A Lorraine Schwartz ring is the right amount of dazzle for the complicated design

As for my worst dressed, sorry Rihanna, but your puff of a gown reminded me of Christmas (or a cotton swab). I also disliked Gaga in the Egg (have I said this already?), Katy Perry in those Armani angel wings, as well as Guliana Rancic's overally complicated lace and satin dress. Sorry G!

Daily Bling - Saturday, January 29th

Kim Kardashian in Lorraine Schwartz

Red carpet season is in full swing! The SAG awards are tomorrow and I'm hoping to see some fun, bold, trendy jewelry on the red carpet. The SAG awards are definitely the more "casual" of the four biggies (GG, Oscars, Grammy and SAG) so it would only make sense our favorite stars and starlets mix it up and go less traditional with the jewels. My favorite designer who gets this look just right for the red carpet? Lorraine Schwartz. Schwartz is a favorite of young hollywood and her looks have been seen on the likes of Beyonce, Blake Lively, Lea Michelle and Angelina Jolie (who could forget those gorg. emerald earrings she did for her at the Oscars two years ago)! So how could I not pick a daily bling for SAG weekend from the unique and gorgeous design of Lorraine Schwartz!

As always, I will be live tweeting my thoughts and commentary on the fashion tomorrow evening beginning at 6 pm. You can follow my tweets @hollyberness and make sure to look out for my best dressed recap on Monday!

Best Dressed - Golden Globes 2011

How good were the Golden Globes last night? So many of my favorites were nominated and won! Glee, The Social Network and Black Swan to name a few! The fashion was also spectacular with very few stars and starlets disappointing.

Huge trends we saw on the carpet included emerald green, nudes/blushes, pink and red! We also saw a return of more dainty jewelry, from intricate diamond netting like necklaces, and feminine diamond drop earrings.

Hair and makeup was also fierce, and continued the "vintage" trend. We saw alot of french twists and full, wavy ponys and coiffs. Red/coral lips ala the original Barbie Doll (or Mad Men) was all the rage!

Of course, we had a few favorites! So below, we breakdown our top three looks of the evening.

1. Anne Hathaway in Armani Prive

- Rocking the "Pink" and "Retro" trends

- With Vintage Van & Cleef Arpels Yellow Diamond Earrings and Cocktail Ring, Roger Vivier Clutch and Brian Atwood Platform Heels

2. Mila Kunis in Vera Wang

- Rocking the Emeral Green trend

- With Judith Leiber Clutch and gorgeous Lorraine Schwartz gold and diamond leaf motif cuff and earrings

3. Olivia Wilde in Marchesa

- Sparkling nude gemstones on her gown help her channel the "nude" trend

- With Tiffany & Co Citrine Earrings and Gold, fierce, Christian Louboutin Shoe Booties

Special Note: She'd be our number one, if she did a bigger earring or cuff. Needed something too accessorize the look just slightly...

The Daily Bling - Oscar Edition Day 3

We know, we know, we wanted Miley Cyrus to stand up straight too. But even though she slouched her way through the Oscars we think her look this year was really gorg and one of the best red carpet looks she has ever done. There, we said it!!

We loved her Jenny Packham dress because its young, on trend (looooove the bustier style) and has just the right amount sexy and bling (looooove the beading). But what we really loved about this look was the way she accessorized it! We are glad Miley went big and showcased two of the biggest trends in jewelry for the night - statement earrings and a diamond encrusted cuff. Note to Kristin Stewart: this is how you should have spiced up your Monique Lhuillier look.

First let's discuss the earrings. We love that she went with a floral look, because its young and really freshens up the look of her dress.We also LOVE the combo of the gold diamond crusted base with the red ruby center. This was the perfect way to add just the right touch of color to an otherwise beige look.

Second, there is this HAWT cuff! I mean really - we are basically drooling over this thing. Completly blinged out, thick and a little rock-n-roll (Miley is a singer after all) this cuff totally adds a little "danger" to her look without taking away from the femininity of the dress' silhouette. We love the piece that comes down, and almost snakes around her hand and we really, really love how her ruby antique-style cocktail ring and nail color tie the entire look together!

After an awards show that had many looking under-accessorized or over-accessorized we are glad to see Miley hitting the mark exactly right from dress, to jewels to even nails!

The Daily Bling - Oscar Edition Day 2

As Randy from American Idol would say Amanda Seyfried's look was "just okay for me". The dress, although a gorg Armani Prive, just seemed like too much for her small frame, and I think her hair slicked back didnt help much. That being said, she still looked beautiful and fresh.

On to the good. The real good! Her layer and layers of Lorraine Schwartz bangles were chic, a little edgy and young - just like she is.

We loved the layer of three mixed metals and colored diamond/gemstone details on each of the bangles and think this is definitely a fun look you could recreate at home easily with costume jewelry pieces. We are definitely going to try this look the next time we go out out with our girls but also think this could be equally chic for a black tie occasion ala Amanda here.
